When a football game ends, 45 minutes of heavy outgoing traffic takes precedence over gaining access to main campus.

CU Students, Faculty, and Staff Parking

Permit holders

CU-Boulder parking permits will be honored in their assigned lot during football games based on space availability. (Some exceptions exist; see below for details.) Permit holders displaced from their lots will be directed to alternate campus parking locations.

Exceptions

Parking permit holders (including X permit holders) for all lots near Folsom Stadium (lots 169, 360, 365, 378, 380, 386, 394, 420, 436/494 North & East) will be directed to alternate campus parking locations all day on football game days.

Campus Department Business permits, Vendor permits, Worksite permits and Emergency permits are NOT honored for personal parking during football games.

No permit?

If you do not have a parking permit, please go to the public parking areas as indicated on the Football Parking Map.

Due to the high-volume of traffic post game, it is best to avoid entering or driving on campus for 60 minutes following the completion of a game.

Permit holders who must drive into campus during post-game traffic are asked to enter at Regent Drive from NORTHBOUND Broadway. Expect to find a barricade. You will be admitted if you show the police or parking attendant your CU-Boulder parking permit, and tell them that you are seeking access to your residence hall or work site. Please follow their directions.

ADA Accessible Parking

Parking for persons with disabilities is available at the Euclid AutoPark (18th and Euclid Streets).

A wheelchair-accessible shuttle transports ticket holders with disabilities between Euclid AutoPark and Folsom Stadium continuously for two hours before and for one hour after the game.

Vehicles over 6 feet 9 inches tall or 8 feet wide may park on the top level of the Euclid AutoPark. If additional accessible parking arrangements are needed to accommodate fans in oversized vehicles, please call PTS’ Events Parking section at 303-492-7384.

Vehicles not displaying CU-Boulder parking permits will be charged $25 per parking space.

Athletic Donor Parking

Folsom Field policies, maps, donor parking, and more are provided under 'Fans' on the CU Athletic Department website.

RV Parking

RV parking is available in lot 470 (west of Wolf Law building) and 414 (along Kittredge Loop.)
